Have these map images been recently updated? It looks like those mountains might have been revised. It's possible that the old version had the Mauritania/Algeria border blocked off, and that the new map changed that (intentionally or not) without changing the XML.

Sorry guys i have just come back from a trip and will start working on the bugs right now so that your games run better. Sorry for all the confusion, I just changed the map and xml code right before I left.

1. SMITH197 attacked Nigeria from Benin and conquered it from joetalk-these territories don't border each other.

2. SMITH197: wow...you cant attack mauritania to algeria? Thats not very clear...-should have been able to

3. I have Burkina Faso as a card-does not exist

1.The previous "togo" is now non existant on this map. It is now Benin. The previous "Benin" is now "Burkina Faso". Benin now borders Nigeria.

2. I am changing things on Algeria and Mautitania as I am typing.

3. uhh, 1 explanes this.

Each player starts with 15 territories. Whoever gets first receives five territories on their first turn, and if they conquer just one terri from an opponent (with 8v3, that's not hard to do); the opponent only gets 4 the first turn.

Not major, but something noteworthy IMO.

this is the case with loadsa maps - whatever you do there is some form of player setup where some1 gets unlucky on some maps...no way is every map gonna be edited to fix 1 army lost.......

It is kinda a big deal. I played 1v1 on this map for the first time the other day and the game was over after my opponent took his first turn because, besides getting extra armies to start with, he also got to fortify his position making it harder for me to take any of his territories back.

Was completely impossible to win simply because he got to go first.

If you started with only 14 territories (4 armies) it wouldn't be that big of a deal because then your opponent has to take 3 of your territories to cause you to lose an army, as opposed to only needing to take 1.

The border between Zambia and East Zaire is has a think blue line for about 90% of it. This would imply that a player can't move between these territories when in fact it is allowed since 10% of the border is open. Remove or shorten the blue line as it is misleading.

I just wanted to point out guys that this map might be outdated in 5 months. Sudan is going to have a final vote on splitting into North and South Sudan. In that case - your West Sudan on this map won't be geographically correct anymore!
